Chapter 551 Illuminating the Dawn of Darkness

There are not many zombies in the nuclear power plant, only about a dozen.

What makes Lu Li feel strange is that the behavior patterns of these zombies are different from the zombies he has encountered before.

The zombies in front of them don't look normal.

Although their clothes were dirty, they were still neat, and there was no blood on them. More importantly, these zombies are still walking back and forth in the nuclear power plant in groups of three or five, seeming to follow a certain pattern.

This feeling... as if a group of nuclear power plant staff were patrolling the equipment of the nuclear power plant.

Very weird!

Could it be that... even if they became zombies, the responsibility and perseverance of the past still allowed these zombies to continue their original work?

Could it be that there are still some hazy memories left in their virus-corrupted brains? Or... obsession?

Lu Li secretly sighed, and there was an inexplicable surprise in his heart.

These zombies with special behavior patterns are rare samples. Maybe they can find some ways to help zombies restore their minds?

Deal with the nuclear power plant problem first, and then do the research later.

After calming down, Lu Li walked into the nuclear power plant and walked towards the reactor at the bottom of the "big chimney".

The appearance of Lu Li was also discovered by the zombies wandering ahead.

To Lu Li's surprise, the zombies just turned their heads and glanced at Lu Li, then turned around again, ignoring Lu Li at all, and continued to follow the patrol route.

They just ignored me without even roaring?

These zombies are really weird.

Lu Li did not delay, and walked directly to the control room in front.

Walking into the main control room, a strong scorched smell came to the nostrils, the main control room in front of him was charred black, and all the instruments and equipment were burned into a mass of coke.

Even Lu Li saw several charred corpses in the main control room.

Walking forward, Lu Li inspected the charred corpses, and suddenly found...these corpses also had two sharp canine fangs on their upper jaws.

It's a zombie!

Perhaps... after being infected with the virus, these zombies still habitually came to the main control room for some unknown reasons.

However, they have lost the memories and skills they once had and do not know why they are here or what to do.

Until... because of the lack of operator control, the resulting wire overloaded and caught fire, burning the place to coke.

Lu Li shook his head helplessly.

The main control room was burnt down, and Lu Li could not shut down the reactor directly from the main control.

To shut down the nuclear reactor, Lu Li had to enter the reactor compartment, which was placed underground. There... must be full of nuclear radiation now.

Nuclear radiation, Lu Li is not too worried.

In the original radiation wasteland plot, Lu Li created a radiation-resistant protein for himself, which can protect his DNA molecular chain from being damaged by high-energy rays.

It's just... I hope that the alarm message is more reliable, and the reactor shell will not be burnt through within 24 hours.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful Lu Li is, he is not a "man who came out of a nuclear explosion", and he will be directly vaporized by millions of degrees of high temperature.

Turning around and walking out of the main control room, Lu Li glanced at the "escape route map" posted on the aisle wall and memorized the building structure.

Walking along the aisle, Lu Li came to the elevator entrance.

The main control room was burnt, and the elevator lines were naturally unavailable.

It's just... at this moment, there are a few zombies standing at the elevator entrance. Because there was no elevator, these zombies stood dumbfounded at the elevator entrance, habitually waiting for the elevator that could no longer be opened.

Lu Li shook his head, ignoring the zombies, turned and walked towards the stairs.

In addition to the elevator, there are also staircases that lead directly to the underground reactor compartment.

Walking into the stairs, there are some protective clothing and Geiger counters in a small room next to it.

At this moment, Lu Li saw that on the Geiger counter on the tool rack, bursts of red light flashed, and there was a faint alarm sound.

The reason why the alarm sound is weak, I am afraid that the battery is almost dead.

Lu Li hurried up, grabbed a Geiger counter, and looked at the numbers on it... 1000 millisieverts!

Is there still such a strong nuclear radiation here?

It seems that there has been a nuclear leak in the reactor compartment. It's just a little bit closer to burning through the protective shell of the reactor.

To be on the safe side, Lu Li still put on a protective suit for himself.

In the tool room, he found a few new batteries and installed the Geiger counter. Lu Li hung the Geiger counter on the protective suit and hurried out.

Fast forward all the way along the stairs, Lu Li soon came to the nuclear reactor cabin at the bottom of the "big chimney" fifty meters underground.

Approaching the reactor cabin, a heat wave hits my face.

The blazing high temperature made the surrounding air flicker with distorted light and shadow, and the rushing heat wave made Lu Li feel the skin tingling even through the protective clothing.

As for the amount of radiation... the Geiger counter hanging around his waist is screaming frantically, and the number displayed on it has reached more than 5,000 millisieverts.

With this amount of radiation, ordinary people can invite the whole village to eat as long as they are exposed to it for one second.

fine! The reactor hasn't really burned through yet!

Lu Li secretly rejoiced that if he had burned through the protective casing, no matter how powerful Lu Li was, he would be powerless.

True Qi roared and circulated in his body, resisting the blazing high temperature, and Lu Li walked into the reactor cabin step by step.

Walking into the cabin, Lu Li was surprised to find that there was actually a zombie inside.

A zombie wandering dazedly in the core compartment.

This is an old man who looks to be in his fifties, with a name tag hanging on his chest that reads "Chief Engineer of Zhuangqiu Nuclear Power Plant, Wang Kebin".

The temperature in the reactor cabin was very high, and this zombie was roasted to the point of oil, but it was still wandering in the cabin, as if some kind of obsession drove him to come here.

However... because of the erosion of the virus, he can't remember why he came here, nor what he should do, but he just came here instinctively.

At this moment, Lu Xin felt an inexplicable touch in his head.

In this world, there is always something above all else.

In this world, there are always some beliefs that will never be forgotten.

Even if there is no memory in his mind, even if he forgets everything, that instinctive belief still drives him to stick to it here!

"Wang Gong, here I come!"

Lu Li walked up to the zombie, raised his right hand, and saluted the zombie, "Don't worry, I will definitely shut down the nuclear reactor, and the nuclear radiation will not spread!"

"Ho...ho..."

The zombie looked up at Lu Li, his red eyes blinked a few times, and a few dry roars came out of his throat.

The next moment, the zombie swayed and fell to the ground with a "pop".

This reaction...

The corner of Lu Li's eyes twitched, could it be that... he still has some vague consciousness?

Shut down the nuclear reactor first!

It was too late to pay attention to the zombies that fell to the ground, and Lu Li turned around and walked in front of the nuclear reactor.

The way to shut down a nuclear reactor is very simple, just pull out the fuel mandrel inside the nuclear reactor.

It's just... now that there is no power control, and automatic operation cannot be realized, Lu Li can only manually pull out the fuel mandrel.

To be honest, Lu Li really didn't understand how to manually extract the fuel rods of the nuclear reactor.

Even though he had studied fusion reactors and fission reactors in the radiation plot, Lu Li only knew the principle, only the automatic control program, and had never operated it manually at all.

However, Lu Li still has a solution!

"Open the virtual laboratory, the nuclear reactor in front of the virtual eyes!"

With an order, the nuclear reactor in front of him was virtualized in the virtual laboratory.

Isn't it just a manual operation? Haven't done it? Not proficient? Play it a few times and you'll get used to it!

Then... Lu Li turned on the virtual death mode!

After trial and error again and again, after being burned into gas by nuclear explosions, dozens of times in a row, Lu Li finally figured out the correct operation steps.

After closing the virtual laboratory, Lu Li wiped away a cold sweat and let out a sigh of relief. He turned around from the tool rack in the core compartment, picked up a large wrench, and walked to the front of the reactor.

I have done this job many times, and I have died many times!

Now...I'm pretty good at it!

Clip the wrench on the interface bolt, pull it hard, loosen the bolt, rotate it manually, drive the reactor transmission mechanism, and slowly pull out the fuel mandrel.

This operation must be accurate, neither fast nor slow, it is the most appropriate to make a circle in one second, otherwise... with a bang, the game is over!

Don't ask how Lu Li knew, he died dozens of times in the virtual lab!

The fuel rods were pulled out, and the graphite rods that absorbed neutrons were put back in again, completely blocking the chain reaction, and the nuclear reactor finally stopped running.

Get it!

Lu Li let out a long sigh before turning around and walking towards the fallen zombie.

Reaching out and probing, the zombie's breathing and heartbeat are extremely weak, and it seems that it is not far from death.

Even if it is a zombie, it is still a creature, still flesh and blood.

Under such powerful radiation and high temperature, it can persist until now, which cannot be explained by the mutation of zombie virus.

Lu Li quickly picked up the zombie and hurried out of the reactor core compartment.

After rushing all the way to the top floor along the stairs, back to the ground, Lu Li found an open and ventilated place, and placed this weird zombie on the ground.

After checking it again, the zombie's breathing and heartbeat were even weaker. The pulse could no longer be detected on the wrist, and only the common carotid artery could feel a faint tremor.

It... no, he's going to die!

Lu Li sighed deeply, lowered his head and said in the zombie's ear: "Wang Gong, the reactor has been shut down and it is safe!"

The zombie's eyelids trembled, and a faint "ho ho" sound came out of his throat, and his neck crooked, and there was no sound.

Lu Li was silent for a while, then stood up and raised his hand to salute the zombie!

There is always some perseverance that is admirable!

There are always some beliefs that will move people!

Even...even if he didn't know what he was doing at all, he couldn't remember anything!

"Open the virtual lab!"

Lu Li gave an order and opened the virtual laboratory again.

"The dead body of virtual chief engineer Wang Kebin."

A ray of light flashed, and the dead body of chief engineer Wang Kebin appeared in the virtual laboratory.

Lu Li picked up a syringe and took a blood sample from the dead body for testing.

Under the electron microscope, the zombie virus in Wang Kebin's body has undergone some strange changes.

The original zombie virus is a new mutant prion formed by combining prion with rabies virus and bloodthirsty virus.

Now, the mutant prion in Wang Kebin's body has undergone some mutations again. In this virus, the components of rabies virus and bloodthirsty virus are reduced, and the protein molecular structure of the core part of the prion is slightly different.

This is a brand new mutated prion, which Lu Li called "Wang Kebin virus"!

Obviously, this "Wang Kebin virus" is the reason why the zombies in the nuclear power plant have different habits from the zombies outside.

The factor responsible for this change...probably is nuclear radiation.

In order to verify this, Lu Li quickly created a virtual operating room, dissected the virtual zombie Wang Kebin, and observed the brain tissue of the zombie.

After the craniotomy, Lu Li found that in the brain tissue of Wang Kebin's zombie, there were slightly more nerve cells that were not damaged by the mutant prion.

Immediately, Lu Li virtualized other zombies in the nuclear power plant, dissected them one by one, and carefully compared the brain tissue structure.

The experimental results show that the proportion of normal nerve cells in the brain tissue of these nuclear power plant zombies is 1% higher than that of other zombies.

Therefore, they will have different habits, and they will instinctively act according to the original habits.

At this moment, Lu Li seemed to see the dawn, the dawn of the zombie's recovery.

But... this is still only a glimmer of light, and it is too difficult to achieve.

To make zombies recover a little bit of normal brain cells under nuclear radiation, it is not necessary to plant mushrooms all over the world and spread nuclear radiation all over the world, right?

To avoid a biochemical apocalypse, level the world? This is too funny!

This idea is definitely wrong.

After thinking for a while, Lu Li virtualized a normal zombie and raised a blood sample from the normal zombie.

Then, Lu Li injected the new virus in Wang Kebin's dead body into the blood of a normal zombie and observed it under an electron microscope.

This experiment... brought a huge surprise to Lu Li.

Under the electron microscope, the "Wang Kebin virus" suddenly invaded the normal zombie virus.

The transmission mechanism of prions is to convert normal protein molecules into prion protein molecules. At this moment, the "Wang Kebin virus" is also transforming normal zombie viruses in this way.

But...the efficiency is average.

Zombie viruses are also prions, which are also highly aggressive. The two prions are constantly fighting and attacking each other, but the "Wang Kebin virus" has the upper hand.

But...it's still a great find!

This is the light that illuminates the darkness!

"I understand! I understand!"

Lu Li laughed, "Only prions can fight prions! I have found a research direction!"
